pAR from home alone I wander 
uS Over mountain and pathless wave, 
But the fair land that shineth yonder 
Claimeth the love that erst it gave. 
Golden Land, so far, so nearing ! 

Land of those who wait for me ! 
Ever brighter the vision cheering. 
Golden Land, I haste to thee ! 

On my path a golden sunlight 
Softly falls where'er I roam, 

And I know it is the one light 
Both of exile and of home. 

Golden Land, so far, so near. 

On my heart engraven clear. 

Though I wander from strand to strand, 

Dwells mv heart in that Golden Land.

HAT are the whispering voices 

That wake at early dawn ? 
Do they come from the orient portals 

Of the palace of the morn ? 
They tell of a Golden City 

With pearl and jasper bright, 
And of shining forms that beckon 

From the pure and dazzling light. 

Then a rush of far-off harpings 
Blends with the voices clear, 
And I know that night is passing, 
And 1 know that the day is near ! 
I hear you, I hear you. 

Sweet voices of the dawn ! 
Come to me, come ! 

In the early, early morn. 



His peace be thine. His Love unknown ; 

His own deep Joy, His Strength and Power, 
His grace abounding, be thine own !

Oo!^ Fop One.

HAVE a smile my friends to greet, 
Hearty and pleasant for all I meet, 

Hidden from none ; 
But I have a smile that they do not know, 
Lit by a deeper, tenderer glow, 
And I keep it bright in my heart below, 

Only for one ! 

I have a song for every ear, 
Leaving an echo to soothe and cheer 

When it is done ; 
But I have a music of truer beat, 
Not to be poured at the great world's feet, 
Richer and softer and far more sweet. 

Only for one ! 

I have a love for all who care 

Aught of its warmth to claim, or share. 

Free as the sun ; 
But I have a love which I do not hint, 
Gold that is stamped with my souFs imprint, 
A wealth of love, both mine and mint, 

Only for one !

AM with thee ! " He hath said it 
In His truth and tender grace ; 

Sealed the promise, grandly spoken, 

With how many a mighty token 
Of His love and faithfulness. 

He is with thee ! — With thee always, 

All the nights and all the days ; 
Never failing, never frowning, 
With His loving kindness crowning, 
Tuning all thy life to praise. 

He is with thee ! — Thine own Master, 
' Leading, loving to the end ; 
Brightening joy and lightening sorrow, 
A// to-day, yet more to-morrow, 

King and Saviour, Lord and Friend. 

He is with thee ! — Yes, forever. 

Now, and through eternity ; 
Then with Him forever dwelling, 
. Thou shalt share His joys excelling, 

7I10U with Christ, and Christ with thee ! 




5|S thy day thy strength shall be 1 " 
This should be enough for thee ; 
He who knows thy frame will spare 
Burdens more than thou canst bear. 

When thy days are veiled in night, 
Christ shall give thee heavenly light ; 
Seem they wearisome and long. 
Yet in Him thou shalt be strong. 

Cold and wintry though they prove, 
Thine the sunshine of His love ; 
Or, with fervid heat oppressed. 
In His shadow thou shalt rest. 

When thy days on earth are past, 
Christ shall call thee home at last. 
His redeeming love to praise, 
Who hath strengthened all thy days, . 



No life can be dreary 
When work is delight ; 

Though evening be weary 
Rest Cometh at night ; 

And all will be cheeiy. 
If faithful and right.

HE knows ! 

Yes, Jesus knows just what you cannot tell, 
He understands so well ! 
The silence of the heart is heard ; 
He does not need a single word ; 
He thinks of you ; 
He watcheth and He careth too. 
He pitieth, He loveth ! All this flows 
In one sweet word, " He knows ! " 

" THROUGH THE WATERS." 

When thou passest through the waters, 

I will be with thee ! " 
Sure and sweet and all-sufficient 

Shall His presence be. 
All God's billows overflowed Him 

In the great atoning day : 
Now He only leads thee through them — 

With thee all the way. 



Thank God ! there is at eventide a gleam of ruby light, 
A -i .r ,-,f h->yu^ .nvci the gloom of sorrow's lingering night. 



; AM SO weak, dear Lord, I cannot stand 
I One moment without Thee 1 
But oh! the tenderness of Thine enfolding, 
And oh ! the faithfulness of Thine upholding, 
And oh ! the strength of Thy right hand I 
That strength is enough for me ! 

I am so needy. Lord, and yet I know 

All fullness dwells in Thee ; 
And hour by hour that never-failing treasure 
Supplies and fills, in overflowing measure. 
My least, my greatest need ; and so 

Thy grace is enough for me ! 

It is so sweet to trust Thy word alone : 

I do not ask to see 
The unveiling of Thy purpose, or the shining 
Of future light on mysteries untwining : 
Thy promise-roll is all my own,— 

Thy word is enough for me ! 

The human heart asks love ; but now I know 

That my heart hath from Thee 
All real, and full, and marvelous affection, 
So near, so human ; yet divine perfection 
Thrills gloriously the mighty glow ! 
Thy love is enough for me 1 



** The moon walking in brightness." — Job xxxi : 26. 

'I^OT long ago the moon was dark, 

No light she gave or gained ; 
She did not look upon the sun. 

So all her glory waned. 
Now through the sky, so broad and high, 

In robe of shining whiteness, 
Among the solemn stars of God, 

She walks in brightness. 

Look up to Him who is the Sun, 

The true and Only Light, 
And seek the glory of His face, 

His smile so dear and bright. 
Then making gladness all around. 

By gentleness and Tightness, 
You, too, shall shine with light divine, 

And walk in brightness. 



For infinite outpourings of Jehovah's love and grace. 
And infinite unveilings of the brightness of His face. 
And infinite unfoldings of the splendor of His wdll. 
Meet the mightiest expansions of the finite spirit still. 



jADLY bend the flowers 
5 In the heavy rain ; 
After beating showers, 
Sunbeams come again. 

Little birds are silent 

All the dark night through ; 

When the morning dawneth, 
Their songs are sweet and new. 

When a sudden sorrow 

Comes like cloud and night, 

Wait for God's to-morrow ; 
All will then be bright. 

Only wait and trust Him 

Just a little while ; 
After evening tear-drops 

Shall come the morning smile. 



Only trust the living Saviour, only trust Him all the way, 
And your springtide path shall brighten to the perfect 
summer day 1 






"And thine age shall be dearer than the noonday; thou shalt 
shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning." — Job xi: 17. 

fEAR not the westering shadows, 
O children of the day ! 
For brighter still and brighter 

Shall be your homeward way. 
Resplendent as the morning, 

With fuller glow and power, 
And clearer than the noonday, 
Shall be your sunset hour. 



" Lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called. "- 
I Tim. vi: 12. 

A life is before thee which cannot decay, 
A glimpse and an echo are given to-day 
Of gloiy and music not far away. 
Take the bliss that is offered thee, 

And thou shalt be 

Safe and blest for aye. 



A// His work He shall fulfill, 

A// the good pleasure of His will, 

Keeping thee in a// thy ways. 

And with thee always, " a// the days," 

And to-day !

" Even so, Father : for so it seemed good in Thy sight." — Matt. 
xi : 26. 

i^ND if it seemeth good to Thee, my Father, 
Shall it seem aught but good to me ? 
Thy will be done ! Thou knowest I would rather 
Leave all with Thee. 



I am trusting Thee to guide me 
Thou alone shalt lead ! 

Every day and hour supplying 
All my need. 



Let me then be always growing, 
Never, never standing still ; 

Listening, learning, better knowing 
Thee and Thy most blessed will. 

Till I reach Thy holy place, 

Daily let me grow in grace. 



True-hearted, whole-hearted, faithful and loyal, 
King of our lives, by Thy grace we will be ! 

Under Thy standard, exalted and royal, 

Strong in Thy strength, we will battle for Thee ! 



■^*£a^^^*^«^' 



xjiv ^ET Thy kingdom come, we pray Thee, 
Let the world in Thee find rest ; 
Let all know Thee, and obey Thee, 
Loving, praising, blessing, blessed !
